The hard work and generosity of our volunteers, business partners, and donors is massively valued by the team at Caring in Bristol. It's great to see everyone's efforts recognised in the media, raising awareness about the need for more support and resources for people experiencing a homelessness crisis, especially at Christmas - one of the coldest, hardest, most isolating times of the year.

ITV Westcountry (December, 2025)

ITV Westcountry visited the project to see how preparations were progressing. One visit showed donations being sorted in our base, and another visited our set-up team the day before launching. They were in the process of getting goods and equipment into the Trinity Centre, decorating the space, and making sure it was ready for the launch.

We were also invited to take part in live broadcasts by the John Darvall show in BBC Radio Bristol. Across these two interviews, we explored the reasons why Caring at Christmas is needed, as well as some of the realities of homelessness and housing insecurity. Two of our amazing volunteers also shared their experience of volunteering in the project, and explored their motivations for volunteering - encouraging others to consider this life-changing activity.
